As a child Lily attended Balaklava Primary School until Grade *. She then worked as a machinist at Gilchrist's Tailor's Store in Balaklava. She taught Sunday School until she married. They lived on the Wilson farm at Eastview Whitwaria. They worked the farm together; Lily milked the cows, fed the pigs and helped with the other farm work. She also looked after her parents-in-law. In 1957 the farm was sold because they were in ill health. They retired in Balaklava. Lily's hobbies were knitting, fancy work, crocheting and she loved gardening. Other interests were Red Cross, of which she was member for many years, and Whitarta Agricultural Bureau where she was a life member. She attended the Methodist Church regularly for as long as she could, and also the Ladies' Guild. Later she joined the Senior Citizens and Attended until ill health prevented her from attending meetings. After Richard's death, she lived alone until ill health caused her to sell her home; then she spent a short time at the Riverton Rest Home before she became a patient at the Balaklava Hospital where she died, aged 71.
